Saturday dog food purchase

Today we went to the farmer's market Saya had a lot of fun meeting people and kids she met a little toddler she loved.

Farmer's market doesn't  allow dogs in the market, but it's OK if they're in the sidewalk which is fine by me she still gets to mee people who likes dogs.

A lot of distractions people, musicians, and so on. She did well during training watching me when asked, sit, and come when called. I didn't let her off leash I just told her to stay went to end of her leash then asked her to come and she came right away.

So sad they don't allow dogs, but I understand due to rude dog owners who bring their dog who don't behave well or are scared in the crowd.

Saya she does fine in crowds she follows me and when I'm getting stuff at the stall I have her sit and she stays sitting and won't bother people unless they show interest in her.

Saya waiting for me when I got stuff this was from another time though.

The other farmer's market it allows dogs, but it's on wednesday and mom works long hours during the week so we can't go then.

I'm fine with that Saya still enjoys it and it helps get her used to noise like music and people.

We went to butcher and I got her 10lbs of chickens hearts for $16 which is a good deal. Should last Saya for while. Yummy.

We also headed to a dog grooming place to check it out has some nice items like dog collars, leashes, harness and dog bathing stuff, brushes and even the honest kitchen.

I got the Love formula Saya tried the Keen formula and Love she seemed to like the Love formula more, but she ate both find.

Though I did screw up and added bit more water then the free sample asked for made it really soupy so probably filled her up. Good to be hydrated though. hehe

I still love raw diet I don't think she'll ever be off of it, but I thought the honest kitchen be nice for small snack and to put her joint supplements in. I enjoy raw and it's helped Saya a lot with her health.

Plus if we ever go camping it's make a nice meal. I'll probably add caned sardines with it for more yummy food too.

Here's a cute picture showing how tired Saya was.

Ziwi peak samples on the way!

Saya looking at the kitty

Well thanks to Conker's owner's blog I asked for sample of their product to try.

I like Ziwi peak's ingredients looks great and worth feeding either for treat or as diet.

I don't think I'd switch Saya to full on it, but it'd make good snack, treat, or meal when I got camping or traveling etc.

Ziwi peak's website

Hi again!

Haven't posted in awhile almost been two years wow! =\

I'd hoped to update this more, but haven't due to my slow internet. Now my pc has been broken need to fix it hopefully I can get a decent internet speed so I can post more pictures and updates.

Anyways Saya will be raw fed for two years this March 22nd! can't wait!

She'll be getting whole quail for her special meal since she never had it before hope she likes it if not she might take a bit to like it we'll see.

Here's the quail I got.

Saya also has beef lung, beef gullet to try she really loves the beef pancreas, green tripe, duck, goat and beef organ mix.

Can't wait to get more from hare today I'll have to try different stuff like the whole rabbit, pigs head etc.

I added a picture of one of Saya's meals I'll take pictures of Saya trying her quail out on March 22nd.

Day five of raw.

As of today Saya will have been on raw for five days. She has just been eaten chicken thighs for breakfast and dinner I did give her raw eggs with her meal too..

So far besides that one runny poop her stool has been pretty nice and well formed not runny and she doesn't have any problems pooping either..

Funny I pay a lot of attention to her poop, but I guess that's the only way to tell if she's settling it the diet well.. lol

Here morning poop had some bones in it, but on her second walk she pooped again and it didn't have it so I think she's getting better at digesting the bones..

This week she got a lot of bone in items, but I think that's good for her first week or so at least.

I plan to buy some more chicken thighs and there is some good deals on chicken breasts, boneless chicken thighs, and pork so I plan to buy those pork will be her new protein source once she's settled in.

I think instead of moving to the new protein first I think I'll slowly introduce her organ meats to her once she's settled on raw.

So far I'm happy with the results and the great thing is she doesn't have to drink as much water since raw has a lot of liquid in it.

First post!

Well today will be my first post I kept meaning to blog about my experiences with Saya my first shiba inu, but I never got around to it and well Saya is 10months now and almost 11months.

She is my first shiba inu I've been wanting one for 14 or so years she is my first shiba inu I've ever met up close my second was her brother of coarse which he was so cute I hope he's doing well also my third shiba inu is a red shiba named Rukia I met her at the park during a dog charity walk.

As a puppy Saya is an angel she never bitten me hard she'll playfully bite, but not too hard. She also gives me shiba hugs as I call it I need to get a picture of her doing it.. lol

Well lets fast forward to today for now Saya is now being fed prey modal raw which right now she is still transitioning to she's eating chicken thighs and raw eggs I guess I was being too much of a newb in this new diet and gave Saya some Denver lamb ribs for breakfast and dinner which she loves lamb ribs.

Monday is when I started her first day on raw in the morning she got a chicken thigh and dinner was leftover chicken thigh from breakfast and another chicken thigh she ate the whole bone in one of the chicken thighs and just ate the meat on the other. She is pretty amazing at crunching up her bone.

Tuesday she got chicken thigh and some Denver lamb rib, dinner was chicken thigh and lamb ribs.

Wednesday for breakfast she got a mixture of canned salmon with one and a half sardine in it all mix up with her seameal powder mixed in and she ate a little bit of her lamb rib and for dinner she got the rest of the fish mixture and the rest of her lamb ribs and she ate a chicken thigh.

So far she's doing well on this diet and she is still in transition so now that the lamb ribs are gone she is on all chicken till she's settled.

The grocery store has some good deals on chicken and pork so I hope to stock up on some chicken and some pork for when I introduce a new protein I'm probably going to introduce organs first I plan to make a order from haretoday I was going to order tripe, but I think I'll wait till the next time I order and once I see how she likes the things I've ordered for her.

I'll try to blog more often and add some nice pictures of Saya.
